2023 was a year full of uncertainty and unpredictable situations, including a war in Ukraine, global inflation, and the sluggish growth in the semiconductor industry. At Renesas, while we experienced the impact of those external influences, we focused on future growth and long-term value creation for our shareholders, customers, and consumers who benefit from our sustainable products, digital tools and solutions. Together with over 21,000 employees around the world, we are shaping the innovation landscape and evolving as a complete semiconductor solution provider.

Our 2023 and ongoing global initiatives spanning from greenhouse gas emission reduction to supplier engagement to social contributions demonstrate our dedication to fulfilling our Purpose – To Make Our Lives Easier. We strengthened our security capabilities, health and safety management system, and a culture of compliance and inclusion. We look forward to sharing our progress and results each year, as we continue our sustainability journey.
